Gov. John Hickenlooper signed an executive order Tuesday creating a commission to discuss American Indian high school mascots. The group would include tribes, local community members and state agencies to find common ground, said Ernest House Jr., executive director of the Colorado Office of Indian Affairs. In the last legislative session, a bill carried by state Reps. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, and Jovan Melton, D-Aurora, that would have required tribal approval for public schools to continue using American Indian mascots passed in the Democrat-led state House but was killed by a Republican-led Senate committee. “When Rep. Melton and I addressed this issue last legislative session, we met with members of the American Indian community who were concerned that their heritage was being disrespected,” Salazar said Tuesday. “With the governor’s apology for the Sand Creek Massacre last year, and this important step today, we have made small but significant steps as a state in … [Read more...] about Colorado governor creates task force on American Indian mascots

Monique Left Hand Bull testifies Wednesday in favor of a bill requiring schools with Indian mascots and images to first get tribal approval. Her daughters, LacyJay, 7, and Lucille, 8, also testified. (Lynn Bartels, The Denver Post) As expected, a bill that would require tribal approval for public schools to continue using American Indian mascots died tonight in a Republican-controlled Senate committee today. The Senate, State, Veterans & Military Affairs Committee voted 3-2 on a party-line vote against House Bill 1165, which narrowly squeaked out of the House with every single Republican and one Democrat opposed to the measure. The sponsor, Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Westminster, talked about the hurtful impact of Indian mascots on Indian youth, as did several witnesses with Indian ancestry, including Lucille Left Hand Bull, 8, and LacyJay Left Hand Bull, 7. Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling, asked about other mascots, including Pirates or Beetdiggers, and asked if those … [Read more...] about Senate committee kills American Indian mascots bill

A state lawmaker plans to withdraw a bill that would legislate public high schools’ use of American Indian mascots, saying she has already achieved her goal of igniting community discussions over whether the mascots are appropriate. Sen. Suzanne Williams, D-Aurora, also said Wednesday that her measure isn’t needed anymore because the Colorado Indian Education Foundation plans to work with schools that have Indian mascots. “I fervently believe we can build on our knowledge and expand our appreciation of our Native American ancestors,” said Williams, who is one-quarter Comanche. Williams ignited a firestorm of controversy last month when she introduced a bill that would have required all public and charter high schools with Indian mascots to get approval from the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs. Yuma High School pointed out that its mascot was changed in the 1920s from the Cornhuskers to the Chiefs to honor American Indians. Democratic Lt. Gov. Barbara O’Brien said the … [Read more...] about Colorado lawmaker to withdraw Indian-mascot bill

By Michael Hurley , CBS Boston BOSTON (CBS) — There’s not much to say about the Boston Celtics anymore. They are, regrettably, a massive disappointment. READ MORE: 39,725 Minutes! Painfully Long Waits On Vaccine Website As Thousands Of New Appointments Are Filled It’s to the point where even if the Celtics had been able to win handily against the sub-.500 Hawks, it wouldn’t have been a moment worth celebrating. It would simply have been the Celtics doing what they’re supposed to do. Yet they couldn’t even do that. And not only did the Celtics lose, they set some ugly history in the process of their ugly 127-112 defeat. The Celtics allowed the Hawks to hit 23 of their 42 3-pointers.
